Im wondering if it is at all advisable to simply scale a recipe down to reach a lower OG, I'm aware some brewers will make 2 beers from a single mash ie: porter then mild or maybe a ESB then ordanary bitter.
I made a great American brown ale a few months ago and would like to make the beer again but with a little lower alc and ibu's
the original og was 1.061, the new version im aiming at 1.050
the grain bill is as follows
73% pale malt
8.4% light crystal (J/W)
8.4% cara pils (Wey)
6.1% Wheat (Wey)
3.4% Choc (J/W)
Ideas??
